Yea, it turns out one of the developers wanted to install trac on this box and had to do some source based work on MySQL which may have had dependencies on sqlite? Here is the note from the developer on what he did: <quote> I've upgraded MySQL-python to 1.2.1-1 (create RPM from source, then install RPM), and upgraded mysql to 4.1.12-3 (create RPM from SRPM) on delhi. These changes were required to import the bug database from bugzilla. </quote> Here's what I see on the filesystem that looks suspicious: [root@delhi ~]# locate sqlite /home/sroy/.sqlite_history /home/sroy/sqlite-3.3.5.tar.gz /home/sroy/pysqlite-2.2.0.tar.gz /usr/local/lib/libsqlite3.la /usr/local/lib/libsqlite3.so /usr/local/lib/libsqlite3.so.0 /usr/local/lib/libsqlite3.so.0.8.6 /usr/local/lib/libsqlite3.a /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/sqlite3.pc /usr/local/bin/sqlite3 /usr/local/include/sqlite3.h Any pointers on what to do next? Thanks so much. -D
